b FIXED Causing crashes with other mods

So I reported this to the Squeak Through and Alien Tech authors, and apparently this mod is causing my issue.

Whenever I load the game with this mod, Squeak Through, and Schall's Alien Tech; it crashes and I get this error: https://imgur.com/GGyDgrW.

Disabling any of the mods (including this one) will fix the issue.

Here are the reports from the others:

Alien Tech - https://mods.factorio.com/mod/SchallAlienTech/discussion/5f2919fdb0db42478725fe49

Here's the issue:

In deepcore-mining-items.lua the function electric_mining_drill_smoke() is defined:

function electric_mining_drill_smoke()
    return
    {
      filename = "__base__/graphics/entity/electric-mining-drill/electric-mining-drill-smoke.png",
      line_length = 6,
      width = 24,
      height = 38,
      frame_count = 30,
      animation_speed = 0,4,
      direction_count = 1,
      shift = util.by_pixel(0, 2),
      hr_version =
      {
        filename = "__base__/graphics/entity/electric-mining-drill/hr-electric-mining-drill-smoke.png",
        line_length = 6,
        width = 48,
        height = 72,
        frame_count = 30,
        animation_speed = 0,4,
        direction_count = 1,
        shift = util.by_pixel(0, 3),
        scale = 0.5,
      }
    }
  end

The animation speed is broken, should be 0.4. But as far as I can tell Deep Core Mining does not use this function, so should not be defining it in the first place. I would strongly recommend not to overwrite base global functions, I'd suggest declaring a local copy at minimum, and a global named uniquely to the mod at most.

Hello everyone,

Thanks for your report and the analysis of the source of the problem. This was an obvious mistake and deadcode.

This is now fixed in 2.3.2 let me know if that's corrected as expected !
